Los ANaEKEs. July 26th. 1887,

EDITOR CITIzES:-I have now spen
 two weeks in and about this City O
 the Angels" and am ready to give yoJ
 some of my impressions.
 The more I see of this country th'
 more faith have in the future prosDeri
 ty of Arizona and especially of Tucson,
 If the people of Tucson would display one-tenth of the enterprise displsye eC
 here, that city would double m popula- tion within a year. Tucson has all tho advantages that the country about I.OS Angeles has.
 If the new people coming here had accepted everything ss they found il without trying to improve matters. this Los Angeles county would be whst Tucson is to-day.
 The development of water has. tended greatly to the prosperity of this place in fact the whole face of the country has been chsnged-forests and whes. fields, orange groves and vineyards now stand where but 8 few years ago were barren plains.
 Probably Los Angeles owes her pros psrity more to the vast outlay in adver- Using than to anything else. News papers, circulars, and guide books are strevn broadcast. And now all the towns throughout the state are follow ing the example of their more enter prising sister. Free excursion trains are run, lots are gwen away to settlers who will make certain improvements. The little town of Long Beach pushes herself forward by getting the Chstsu- qua Society to hold their meetings there during the summer and then she runs excursion trains to suit the convenience of the visitors; and cur eastern friends finding everything so new and strange and catching the fever of enterprise, in- vest their money and build homes,
 Ssn Luis ObisDo. not to be outdone, forms Board of Trade, appoints com mittee on immigration, and this com mittee set to wsrk. writing up in glowing colors, the great resources of the city and county and the beauty of the surroundings. These articles come out. fully illustrated with wood cuts, in the leading papers of the town, Thou sands of these papers are struck of and sent by the inhabitants, broadcast, throughout the length and breadth of the United States.
 It is the same with Pasadena, with San Buena Ventura, with San Bernsdino; sll ioin hands in booming their climate and their agricultural resoures.
 Now it seems to me that We Of Tucson should endeavor to follow in the foot steps of our California friends. Let board of trade be formed, or let the sity counsel act in the matter. By little effort, arrangements could be made with the managers Of these east srn excursion parties, to have the tour Ists stop for 6 day or two in our city. 4 committss could nee. and show them he attractions of the place; ssn Xavier,

PRIVATE sdvices from Los Angeles state that more than 600 men are direct ly engaged in the real estate busi- ness ID that city and that fully nine tenths of the population are specu- lsting Tn town lots. People buy prop eriy on an agreement to pay in install ments, these again sell on the next raise, to smother by assigning sad contract or agreement. This modus operaudi is carried on indefinitely. When the reac- ton comes. for "come it must" says our informant, how the speculators will catch it. "The last buyers will be call ed upon for their promised payment they will be unable to pay as the prop erty will not bs worth the price set upon 1t, and therefore tbe first grsntors will hold the different sssignees of the contract liable for the original price. If he paid then his grantee will hold the next grantee, and so on down the line. l believe that in year from now. this will be great place for lawyers" The sssessable property in Los Angeles county increased S55, 100000 last year, fully s54 100000 represent the increased value on landed property alone; and the tendency is still upward.

THE Resvis-Peralts land grant busi- ness, after slumbering for years, is again coming prominently before the public and this time it is said for settlement It seems as if the woes of Arizona were never to end. First comes the Apsches and then the blsokmailers and land grBbbers. It behooves the people to unite and protect their homes against the whole host of frauds. We do not think that Resves can make good his enormous pretentions, but we do believe that he can do much to temporarily un- settle titles and cause their legitimate owners some trouble. We have given the people the extent of his claims and now we trust they will govern them selves accordingly. Fight the devil with fire.

4 Running Race to Come or Soon, for
that Amount.
Local sporting men are mewhat
exercised over running race which
is to come off within a week. The
course is to be from HALEY to Belle
vue and return-ten miles and repeat.
But the distance is undecided, aud
may be 40 miles. Stakes: $500 a
side. Between two horses, owned re.
spectively by J. o. Swift and P. A.
Regain. The horses are in training.
The race is the outcome of a dis
pute arising from the fact that, few
days ago, Mr.. Swift rode from Smoky
to ketchum in three and-a half hours.
Considering this pretty good time, he
said 50; whereupon Mr.. Regain said
that his horse had covered the same
ground in four hours, and could do
better. He even thought it was faster
than Mr.. Swift's. Did he think SO
$500 worth? Yes. He was therefore
taken up.
The road between Bellevue and
HALEY is dusty, but otherwise in good
condition for speeding.

Reminders OF Wild Scenes that Trans.
pired There.


G. G. Hall, the newspaper man who
arrived from Colorado . couple of
days ago, left to-day for some other
point-exactly where he did not know,
as he is in search of employment.
The accounts which he gives Of life in
New Me xico and Arizona confirm the
opinion entertained of the wild acts
of the greasers, Indians, and other
uncivilized people of those regions.
And Mr.. Hall himself is living wit
ness to the truth of some of the
thrilling stories which he tells, Is his
right ear still shows two seams put in
by physician who thus repaired the
work Of a Mexican dagger. Mr.. Hall
also carries silver plate on top of his
skull, two scars across his forehead,
and several other wounds in various
portions of his anatomy.
1t is evident that the Southwest has
been devil of place-and it will
doubtless be heard Of in the same line
ere long, because the people down
there are determined to bring on a
war between the United States and
the greasers and poems across the
border; and it is not improbable that
active hostilities will break out next
